Finding Out
CPOV
I was sat at the table for hours while the dinner I had cooked went cold as I waited for Sam to come home. Finally I heard the door open and close.
"Where were you?" I asked Sam as he came in the door, not taking any time to probably look at him. His expression was cold and I could see the red veins stood out in his eyes. "Sam is everything ok?" I added when I took in his appearance.
"I'm fine" he shot back, his voice displaying no emotion.
"No, no you're not" I told him, grabbing his arm to make him face me.
"Yes I am" he yelled as he slapped me across the face. The same way the man that was superposed to love me had.
I woke up on a soft surface lying down. Think. What had happened to me? I opened my eyes to see a white celling above me. I tried to pull up my head to look around but it hurt to lift. I felt sore all over my body. I managed to turn my head to the side to see what seemed to be a living room, though it looked completely unfamiliar. It wasn't as well kept as Liz and Jess's had been and was filled with cheap looking décor, despite it's shabby feel it still felt homely. The chairs were worn like they had been used a by a million people over time. I forced my self to lift myself up, despite the pain that shot through me. I could now see a book case in the corner of the room and an old TV in the other. Attached two the room were two door, one open one closed. Through the open one I could see a small kitchen, but that wasn't all, I could also see Zach stood in the kitchen, searching through a cupboard. Wait, Zach, why was Zach here? Of course, I memories were starting to come back now. I could remember running down a road away from.. Sam. Sam was back. Sam had attacked me and Zach in the street. Sam had knocked me out and Zach had knocked him out.
Before I had any more chance to gather my thought Zach stood up from the cupboard and turned to see me awake.
"Oh, Cam thank god you're awake" he sighed walking over to me.
"Zach, what happened to Sam?" I asked, terrified at the thought that he might still be out there. Waiting to get me.
"After you blacked out I managed to knock him unconscious, I called the police, they arrested him and I brought you back here, don't worry he won't come back" he explained, stroking my hair as he did so, an action I thought was weird but it was overpowered by the other thought whizzing through my head. A part of me knew that Sam had been taken away and I was safe but another part of me couldn't escape the thought that this issue was far from over. "Cam, what happened with you and Sam? He said you and him dated" Zach asked his hand still gently brushing over my hair.
"It doesn't matter" I answered, pushing his hand away from me, standing up and making a move for the door.
"Yes, yes it does" Zach responded, grabbing my arm to stop me from going, unknowingly in the process pushing my sleeve up, revealing my bruise covered arm. "Cam, who did this to you? Please don't lie to me" he asked quietly, so quiet I barely heard his words as his eyes took in my arm, which was covered by hand and foot shaped purple marks.
"I think you know the answer to that" I said sinking back into the sofa and putting my head in my hands. Zach knew what had happened, their was no hiding it any more. Years of hiding abuse I had been suffering my whole life and he finds out like this? Just when I had vowed to leave all of it behind me and forget that part of my life ever existed.
"Sam did this to you" he shouted, anger flashing across his face. "How long did he do this Cam?" he asked staring straight at me.
"It really doesn't matter-" I tried to say to get him to leave it so he didn't have to know any more, but he wasn't having any of it.
"How Long?" he asked again, his voice stern.
"We dated for five and half years and he abused me for five of those" I sighed, a weight lifting from my shoulder as I told a part of my story I had never told anyone else.
"Oh my" he said, dropping down on the sofa next to me. "Why did you put up with it for that long, you could have come back at any time you know" he told me, trying to dig deeper into my dark story, unaware of how much it hurt me. I shrugged unsure of how to answer.
"I didn't want to face you" I lied. Well, it wasn't a complete lie, I definitely didn't want to face Zach but there were far worse thing back here that I didn't want to face.
"That's why? That's why you put up with years of abuse, because you didn't want to face me?" he asked, sounding tired like he was explaining something to a thick kid.
"You cheated on me Zach" I replied bluntly, fixing my eyes on a spot on the carpet.
"I didn't cheat Cam, Tina kissed me, I didn't kiss her back, you walked in a just the wrong moment, I would never of cheated on you, I loved you and I still do, I love you Cam" he said, turning my head to face his, so I was forced to make eye contact. He loved me. After all I did he still loved me. After I ran away without giving me a chance, he still loved me.
I quickly pressed my lips to his and found myself consumed in an all to familiar kiss. He quickly reciprocated and put his hand on the back of my head to pull me closer to him.
I was still consumed in the kiss when I suddenly came to my senses, this was wrong. I was with Grant he hadn't cheated on me and really cared about me, also he would never make me have to think about Sam as he didn't know. I pushed Zach away from me and headed for the door.
"Cam, wait what's wrong?" he called after me as I started to open the door.
"I'm sorry I can't do this" I told him as I started down the corridor of apartments.
"Can't do what Cam?" he called after me as I headed down the corridor away from him.
